I know that when the ex-WoGB 190 was in our hangar all those years ago, eh Tony we know a bit about this one ;) Mr Bianchi sent a sample of the oil away to be examined. Came back with a totally clean bill of health, could have been used in an airworty engine no probs and the same went for the undamaged parts of the airframe. It also seems that Russian bogs preserve things like nothing I've seen before, they drag engines out of 'em that are as fresh as the day they went in, now I'm not saying it's easy to get them out of the country, don't get me wrong, you need some very good contacts to even try, let's hope though ;)
Tom ;) (who would love nothing better to see a 109 grace the skies over the UK, ok a Whirly too but that's a bit off subject and out of my league ;)
